Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
Episodes are available to stream on Netflix.
It’s a classic episode!
Heading down to the sixth level now, the gang is back to their everyday shenanigans.
Running into trouble and cooking it for dinner.
Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader, but feel free to elaborate on tidbits of lore that may not be coming through in the adaptation.

If you missed it, check out Lios’ character sheet that I posted.
The gang takes a break from big business to spend an episode on what feels like a corporate escape/trust building exercise.
I like that despite Marcys, Chils, and Senshis valid worries, Laios proves himself in the end. This episode also adapts some of my favorite panels from the manga.
Each of the dopplegangers are also subtly wrong in a way that’s simply hilarious. Like the two Chil’s imagined by Marcy and Senshi being cuter and more childish that the real one.
Chils version of Marcy is an old hag that goes on about forbidden magic. Marcy seems to think of Laios as “Falyn’s brother”. And I’m not sure whose head birthed “Handsome Senshi” but I love that he exists.
Can’t wait for next week. You might think a show can only have one “best” girl but you are about to be proved wrong.
I kept trying to think of which character each illusion came from. I can’t narrow down handsome Senshi, and I’m not entirely sure if derpy Laios is from Chilchuk and tall Laios is from Senshi or vice versa. I think Chilchuk probably has more respect for Laios because he’s followed him for a while and he likely appears taller, but I’m not sure why Senshi would think of Laios as derpy. Plus Chilchuk seems like he probably thinks everyone is a little dumb because he takes everything so seriously.
The “derpy” Laios also kept going “I wanna eat monsters” which I don’t think would be a Senshi thing. Hence my guess is Chilchuck, and the tall Laios would be Senshis.
No, I think that derpy “I wanna eat monsters” Laios would be from Marcille, the “superiority complex” ace student and reluctant-to-eat-monsters person
Tall Laios is Chilchuck
Falin-face effeminate wimpy Laios is…Senshi?
